3. 4 Key Recommendations Nomadic usage and central Repositories
Standards based CAP Client
Full interoperability with standards based infrastructure
Robust security framework

4. Nomadic Usage and Central Repositories
Access to Chandler data from multiple machines is essential
Architecture allows for small peer-to-peer distributed workgroups to scalable, centrally managed repositories

5. Standards based CAP Client
Standards based solution will permit interoperability with Oracle Calendar, Sun One and Open Source CAP servers, reducing ‘lock-in’ to single vendor solutions
Chandler will provide delegation and resource scheduling features to provide complete client calendaring solution

6. Interoperability with Standards based Infrastructure
Interoperability via existing standards is the primary way Chandler accesses data
Full IMAP, POP, SMTP, and LDAP support utilizing SASL, TLS and Kerberos as underlying security framework
Data Compositing allows richer Chandler meta-data to co-exist with standards data
Pragmatic support for emerging standards such as CAP and Shibboleth

7. Robust Security Framework
Based on existing standards and best practices such as TLS for transport layer security and SASL for authentication
Pluggable security extensions and policy framework which allow each institution to customize own safety vs. convenience trade-offs
Low end-user administration overhead to ensure security is practiced and transparent where achievable.
